The best city photography tour I've ever done

Beyond the many "walk, talk, and take an occasional picture" photo tours, Miguel's tours are planned specifically for outstanding photo opportunities around every corner. You also get the usual discussion of history, culture and the sites, but with Miguel, you get curated photo opportunities, advise on settings and angles, and as much photography guidance as you desire. Guests also feel very much included in the conversation and experience which is rare for tours like this. Overall, quite simply, the best city photography tour I've ever done. In fact, we did 3 sessions with Miguel and all were outstanding - producing many photographs we will cherish. Very highly recommended when you are in Lisbon.

Miguel is brilliant!

Miguel it’s not only yet a very talented photographer but also a good teacher. I can hardly recommend him as a tour guide and also to support your technical developments in photography!

Thank you Julia!

More than a Photo Tour- A True Lisbon Experience

We had an amazing experience with Lisbon Photo and Miguel on both an all-day and night photography tour. Miguel showed us Lisbon in a way we never would have seen on our own, taking us all over the city and helping us capture truly creative and beautiful images. He was technically helpful while also guiding us to see scenes in a new, more creative way. He also made the experience enjoyable for my non-photographer husband, sharing history and culture along the way so we both felt fully engaged. Professional, knowledgeable, and fun—this was so much more than a photo tour. Highly recommend!

Thank you Wendy and Scott for such a great time in Lisbon. Hope to see you again in the future, next time in Porto!

A Wonderful Photo Tour

I did both a morning and afternoon tour with Miguel. What a fantastic photographic experience. Miguel is a great photographer and a very knowledgeable tour guide. We visited some wonderful locations for black and white photography. He was enthusiastic, friendly and shared his extensive knowledge of photographic technique and composition. This is a superb tour. Highly recommended for all !

Lisbon Street photo

We give Miguel our very best recommendations for a photography workshop or photo tour in Lisbon. He is a highly skilled photographer with deep knowledge of everything related to street photography, and he also has a great understanding of the city’s history and the best locations for capturing unique images. Miguel is an excellent teacher who generously shares practical tips on composition, camera settings, and how to approach street photography. His guidance made it easy to improve and see new possibilities while shooting. Just as importantly, he is a very friendly and enjoyable person to spend time with. We joined him for both a night photography session and a daytime tour, and both experiences were fantastic. We would happily join another workshop with him in the future. Our warmest recommendations for a superb photography workshop with Miguel. Nicolaas & Tori

Miguel at Lisbon Photo is Great!

I had a half-day morning tour with Miguel that I liked so much, I did another night tour later in the week. Miguel is a wonderful guide, instructor, and photographer. He showed me places I would not have found on my own and explained the history, culture, and people of the location. I found him very knowledgeable about Lisbon, photography, and several other topics we discussed as we walked through Lisbon. He is very knowledgeable about camera settings, lighting, composition, and the story the photograph should tell. Not only did he help me get some wonderful photographs from the sessions, I also came away with new knowledge to help improve my photography. Not only can I recommend him, I will also take another photo tour with him when I'm back in Lisbon. Miguel, Thanks for the wonderful experiences. And the great photos!

Beautiful photos with Lisbon photo.

This was the second time that I walked with Miguel through the streets of Lisbon. It was a totally new experience in that it was in a different area. Miguel knows the city inside and out and knows where the most photogenic spots are.

Great way to spend your day!

Spending your day with Miquel at Lisbon photo is great whether you are really into photography or just an IPhone photographer. Miquel has a vast knowledge of photography and the local culture and he delivers it to you in a very informative and entertaining way. He also knows some great “local” restaurants.

A Truly Unforgettable Experience with Miguel at Lisbon Photo

My wife Mary and I spent two half days with Miguel from Lisbon Photo, and it was simply amazing — without a doubt one of the highlights of our 7-week European tour. I had done the same experience with Miguel seven years ago, so I already knew how good it would be. But this time, it exceeded all expectations. Miguel has a wonderful way of making photography come alive — not just through technical tips, but through his deep love and knowledge of Lisbon. It’s so much more than a photography workshop; it’s like a private guided tour of the city, filled with hidden corners, beautiful light, and fascinating local insights. What made this time extra special was watching my wife’s transformation. She had no real interest in photography before, but under Miguel’s patient, friendly, and encouraging guidance, she’s now completely hooked — and taking fantastic photos! Miguel is a brilliant teacher and a genuinely kind person. He takes time to understand each participant’s skill level and goals, and he tailors the experience perfectly. His easygoing nature and passion for both Lisbon and photography make every moment enjoyable. If you want to see Lisbon through the eyes of a local artist, learn photography in a relaxed, inspiring way, and come home with stunning photos and even better memories — this is the experience for you. Thank you, Miguel, for another unforgettable adventure. We’ll definitely be back again!

Stephen and Mary, my dear friends, moments like those we spent together make me love my job - then, at some point, it stops being a job and turns into nice moments with friends. We share the same passion about photography. Thank you for all your kindness and I really hope that we will reconnect again in the future. Best regards! Miguel

Photography, touring and friendship rolled into one!

I had a great time with Miguel learning about street photography in Lisbon. Miguel is very knowledgeable about photography and Lisbon. We went down alleys and through areas I would never have known about had it not been for Miguel. I wish I had time to do Porto too, but will add to my list for next time. Miguel, thank you!

Operator response

Thank you for such a kind review. Yes, we have to meet again, this time in Porto!
